The natural obstacles to be overcome in forming a Canal between Panama, and the _nearest point_ of the opposite coast, which is the Gulph of San Blas (likewise called the Bay of Mandingo), render it expedient to select a position west of that line, and the happy coincidence of two navigable rivers, traversing the low lands to the west of Porto Bello, the one falling into the Atlantic, and the other into the Pacific Ocean, which may either form part of the navigation, or be used to feed the Canal, renders that part of the Isthmus the most eligible for this purpose. keywords: america; atlantic; bay; british; canal; chagres; chain; city; coast; communication; countries; country; depth; difficulty; distance; engineer; europe; expense; feet; formation; french; garella; government; great; harbour; height; high; importance; isthmus; land; length; limon; line; lloyd; metres; miles; morel; mountains; mouth; nations; navigation; necessary; new; north; pacific; panama; plan; point; present; project; river; road; ship; spanish; subject; sufficient; survey; trinidad; undertaking; unhealthiness; vessels; voyage; water; west; width; work; world; years cache: 29269.txt plain text: 29269.txt item: #4 of 13 id: 33232 author: Duffield, J.
